Always wear a smile. The gift of life will then be yours to give. ~ Nachman Of Breslov
Gifts Of Life quotes by Nachman Of Breslov
Gratitude for the gift of life is the primary wellspring of all religions, the hallmark of the mystic, the source of all true art ... It is a privilege to be alive in this time when we can choose to take part in the self-healing of our world. ~ Joanna Macy
Gifts Of Life quotes by Joanna Macy
The art of humility begins with a recognition of our dependence on others and an appreciation of God's gift of life. ~ Wilferd Peterson
Gifts Of Life quotes by Wilferd Peterson
We have a gift of life. What we do with that gift is dependent on the choices we make. The people who we spend time with. The things that we go out to do every day. ~ Phil Keoghan
Gifts Of Life quotes by Phil Keoghan
The cross reminds us that there is no true love without suffering, there is no gift of life without pain. ~ Pope Benedict XVI
Gifts Of Life quotes by Pope Benedict XVI
The nature will continue, it's our existence that is finite and you are given this gift of life and you make your way with it, but fate and natural disasters will continue on. ~ Larry Fessenden
Gifts Of Life quotes by Larry Fessenden
To be young is surely the best, if the most precarious, gift of life. ~ James Russell Lowell
Gifts Of Life quotes by James Russell Lowell
The fourth doorway is the Doorway of Openness located in our heart center. It has to do with being open to both giving and receiving love. It's not just about being able to give, but it's also about the ability to be open to receive. There's a certain vulnerability in receiving. When we truly take in and appreciate all of the gifts of life, then our hearts are truly open in love. ~ Marci Shimoff
Gifts Of Life quotes by Marci Shimoff
Mystics knew how to channel grace through prayer and they knew the power of that. They knew how to receive guidance through reflection and contemplation; they knew how to share the gift of illumination with each other. These are great gifts of life and profound grace that we are capable of providing for each other and the world. This is what it means to be a mystic without a monastery. You make a commitment to your own interior illumination and through that discover the "sacred" part of your "contract" and the true meaning of your highest potential. ~ Caroline Myss
Gifts Of Life quotes by Caroline Myss
When we receive God's gift of life by relying on Christ, we find that God comes to act with us as we rely on him in our actions. ~ Dallas Willard
Gifts Of Life quotes by Dallas Willard
A life without a lonely place, that is, without a quiet center, becomes destructive. ~ Henri Nouwen
Gifts Of Life quotes by Henri Nouwen
Love is not greedy or self-seeking, but pure, faithful and genuinely free, open to others, respectful of their dignity, seeking their good, radiating joy and beauty. ~ Pope Benedict XVI
Gifts Of Life quotes by Pope Benedict XVI
The way to plan the family is natural family planning not contraception. In destroying the power of giving life, through contraception, a husband or wife is doing something to self, and so it destroys the gift of life in him or her ~ Mother Teresa
Gifts Of Life quotes by Mother Teresa
The highest compliment we can give to God, our Creator, is to thoroughly enjoy the gift of life. One should never look a gift universe in the mouth! The best way to pay for a beautiful moment is to enjoy it. ~ Ronald Rolheiser
Gifts Of Life quotes by Ronald Rolheiser
Thanksgiving is an attitude that must be rooted in the 'gift of life' if we ever hope to be thankful for the 'gifts' of life. ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
Gifts Of Life quotes by Craig D. Lounsbrough
Helping those less fortunate than us is a blessed opportunity to show thanks for the gifts of life that we ourselves enjoy. ~ Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum
Gifts Of Life quotes by Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum
Tradition is the living faith of dead people to which we must add our chapter while we have the gift of life. Traditionalism is the dead faith of living people who fear that if anything changes, the whole enterprise will crumble. ~ Jaroslav Pelikan
Gifts Of Life quotes by Jaroslav Pelikan
Before anything else, you have received breath - the gift of life itself. The first word about you is GIFT. ~ Rob Bell
Gifts Of Life quotes by Rob Bell
To exist in this vast universe for a speck of time is the great gift of life. Our tiny sliver of time is our gift of life. It is our only life. The universe will go on, indifferent to our brief existence, but while we are here we touch not just part of that vastness, but also the lives around us. Life is the gift each of us has been given. Each life is our own and no one else's. It is precious beyond all counting. It is the greatest value we can have. Cherish it for what it truly is ... Your life is yours alone. Rise up and live it. ~ Terry Goodkind
Gifts Of Life quotes by Terry Goodkind
In order to thrive as artists we need to be available to the universal flow. When we put a stopper on our capacity for joy by anorectically declining the small gifts of life, we turn aside the larger gifts as well. ~ Julia Cameron
Gifts Of Life quotes by Julia Cameron
One of the greatest gifts of life is having a chance to live as long as there are people on earth. ~ Kenneth De Guzman
Gifts Of Life quotes by Kenneth De Guzman
To grow old is to have taken away, one by one, all gifts of life, the food and wine, the music and the company ... the gods unloose, one by one, the mortal fingers that cling to the edge of the table. ~ Storm Jameson
Gifts Of Life quotes by Storm Jameson
Our mother's first gift to us comes at the moment we are born, because Mom, as she will subsequently remind us over and over, gives us the Gift of Life Like many of the gifts we receive from our mothers, the Gift of Life usually doesn't fit properly and is almost never returnable without a major hassle. ~ Linda Sunshine
Gifts Of Life quotes by Linda Sunshine
Hold your hands out over the earth as over a flame. To all who love her, who open to her the doors of their veins, she gives of her strength, sustaining them with her own measureless tremor of dark life. Touch the earth, love the earth, honour the earth, her plains, her valleys, her hills, and her seas; rest your spirit in her solitary places. For the gifts of life are the earth's and they are given to all, and they are the songs of birds at daybreak, Orion and the Bear, and dawn seen over ocean from the beach. ~ Henry Beston
Gifts Of Life quotes by Henry Beston
If in the least particular, one could derange the order of nature, who would accept the gift of life? ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Gifts Of Life quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
In gratitude for God's gift of life to us we should share that gift with others. The art of giving encompasses many areas. It is an outgoing, overflowing way of life. ~ Wilferd Peterson
Gifts Of Life quotes by Wilferd Peterson
The wise man looks at death with honesty, dignity and calm, recognizing that the tragedy it brings is inherent in the great gift of life. ~ Corliss Lamont
Gifts Of Life quotes by Corliss Lamont
The gift of life is so precious that we should feel an obligation to pay back the universe for the gift of being alive. ~ Ray Bradbury
Gifts Of Life quotes by Ray Bradbury
I always think about which blood drive was going on in Georgia that day when that husband or mom or school teacher rolled up their sleeve and actually gave me a second chance at life. It's the ultimate gift of life, and I'm the one who was on the other end. ~ Niki Taylor
Gifts Of Life quotes by Niki Taylor
The family, as the fundamental and essential educating community, is the privileged means for transmitting the religious and cultural values which help the person to acquire his or her own identity. Founded on love and open to the gift of life, the family contains in itself the very future of society; its most special task is to contribute effectively to a future of peace. ~ Pope John Paul II
Gifts Of Life quotes by Pope John Paul II
Yes, we are raw. Yes, we are in the dark belly of a whale. Yes, we ache. Who can be Jesus' "little sunbeam" at such a time? Would Jesus even want such a thing? He is after much more than happiness in our lives. He is after a sustaining joy and he will give us that joy by giving us himself, whether through the small gifts of life that bring us gladness or through the dark night of suffering. Sweeping affliction under the rug of our heart, therefore, is simple denial, an act of cowardice, and act of ungratefulness. We must dare to look it square in the eyes. ~ Ben Palpant
Gifts Of Life quotes by Ben Palpant
It is ordained that to the ambitious, who derive no satisfaction from the gifts of life and the beauty of the world, life shall be a cause of suffering, and they shall possess neither the profit nor the beauty of the world. ~ Leonardo Da Vinci
Gifts Of Life quotes by Leonardo Da Vinci
No one should be allowed to give back the gift of life, unless they are very old and full of tears, when the body outlives the spirit, when they should be allowed to join the others who've already gone. ~ Fay Weldon
Gifts Of Life quotes by Fay Weldon
All art is immoral.... For emotion for the sake of emotion is the aim of art, and emotion for the sake of action is the aim of life, and of that practical organization of life that we call society."
―Oscar Wilde ~ Oscar Wilde
Gifts Of Life quotes by Oscar Wilde
When we as a nation, strive in vain to preserve the beauty of our national life, forgetting our biblical roots, we are doomed. ~ Richard Halverson
Gifts Of Life quotes by Richard Halverson
Caroline was slightly taken aback (shocked would be much too strong a word to describe her feelings). It was difficult to know what to say to Widgeon. The whole affair seemed so topsy turvy, so typical of the topsy turvy conditions of modern life. She had tried to help her country by Growing More Food, and all she had got for the trouble involved was more trouble. She had received countless forms to fill up; she had been visited by inspectors who seemed to think it was within their province to be rude to her, and who treated her as if she were trying to defraud the authorities of their just and lawful due, and she had been fined quite heavily for doing something she did not know was wrong. Somewhat naturally Caroline felt annoyed and the opportunity to break the law without any risk at all tempted her considerably. ~ D.E. Stevenson
Gifts Of Life quotes by D.E. Stevenson
Yet this is life. For hardly have we mortals by long toilings extracted from this world's vast bulk its small but valuable sperm; and then, with weary patience, cleansed ourselves from its defilements, and learned to live here in clean tabernacles of the soul; hardly is this done, when-There she blows!-the ghost is spouted up, and away we sail to fight some other world, and go through young life's old routine again. ~ Herman Melville
Gifts Of Life quotes by Herman Melville
She is fragile as the morning dew
melting in the warmth of a child's smile;
stirring at the lonely, lovely waft
of a butterfly's wings;
tender as the curve
of a wildflower petal.
She is fierce as a summer storm
now raging against the fiery sky;
now raining tears to soothe
the sun-scorched earth.
She is soft as a midnight breeze
swaying to the sound of waves breaking
on distant shores;
whispering comfort to a world
steeped in the dark night of inhumanity.
She is brilliant as the rising Phoenix
lifting the suffering from the ashes;
her own suffering woven into wings of fire
in the long watches of the night.
She is serene and turbulent as the silvered water
hiding currents unknown beneath the gentle gaze
of a human who has walked a thousand miles and still has more to go. ~ L.R. Knost
Gifts Of Life quotes by L.R. Knost
When you get inside, go to the stairs and one of them will escort you up. Go directly to the stairs," he said pointedly. "Try not to get in trouble or cause a riot on the way."
"I don't think that's a fair statement. Life isn't always chaotic around me."
"Like when isn't it?"
"Like when I'm ... " I thought a minute. "Alone," I finished pissily. "Or asleep. ~ Karen Marie Moning
Gifts Of Life quotes by Karen Marie Moning
Sometimes I get drunk and I get into arguments with taxi drivers. And I get out the cab and I slam the door. That's not the way to win an argument with a taxi driver. The way to win is you get out of the cab and you leave the door open. And then he has to step out and come around and close that door. And while he's doing that, I'm on the other side opening the other doors-and we just go around and around and around, and I got my own Benny Hill situation going on in life. ~ Hannibal Buress
Gifts Of Life quotes by Hannibal Buress
We remember nothing. Maybe for a year or two. Maybe most of a life, if we live. Maybe. But then we will die, and who will ever understand any of this? And maybe we remember nothing most of all when we put our hands on our hearts and carry on about not forgetting. ~ Richard Flanagan
Gifts Of Life quotes by Richard Flanagan
The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly ... The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life ... Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were. ~ Louis-Sebastien Mercier
Gifts Of Life quotes by Louis-Sebastien Mercier
A big part of country music is a way of life, at least from my standpoint. That's how I craft my music from my own life experiences. ~ Luke Bryan
Gifts Of Life quotes by Luke Bryan
A child says 'Thank God for my good dinner'. What can I say at seventy-five? 'Thank God for my good life, and for all the love that has been given to me.' Wallingford. October IIth 1965 SEARCHABLE TERMS Note: The pagination of this electronic edition does not match the edition from which it was created. ~ Agatha Christie
Gifts Of Life quotes by Agatha Christie
Ruth looked for the water mark several times during the day. She knew it was there, would always be there, but she needed to confirm its presence. Like the keeper of the lighthouse and the prisoner, she regarded it as a mooring, a checkpoint, some stable visual object that assured her that the world was still there; that this was life and not a dream. That she was alive somewhere, inside, which she acknowledged to be true only because a thing she knew intimately was out there, outside herself. ~ Toni Morrison
Gifts Of Life quotes by Toni Morrison
As we begin to love and appreciate ourselves as we are, our channels open and we access the infinite vitality of life force. ~ Shakti Gawain
Gifts Of Life quotes by Shakti Gawain
She had always loved to tease and considered it an irony of her life that she was often drawn to men who didn't recognize teasing even when she was inflicting it on them. ~ Larry McMurtry
Gifts Of Life quotes by Larry McMurtry
Life always begins with one step outside of your comfort zone. ~ Shannon L. Alder
Gifts Of Life quotes by Shannon L. Alder
I've spent much of my life being attuned to watching for an image or a phrase that can trigger what might be a poem - could become a poem. ~ Pattiann Rogers
Gifts Of Life quotes by Pattiann Rogers
The present is what is happening when you strip away all the resentments of your past and all the worries you have about your future. ~ John Kuypers
Gifts Of Life quotes by John Kuypers
Until the age of twelve I thought I was gifted with the power to shape the future, but this power was a crushing burden, it manifested itself in the form of threats, I had to take just so many steps before I got to the end of the sidewalk or else my parents would die in a car accident, I had to close the door thinking of some favorable outcome, for example passing a test, or else I'd fail, I had to turn off the light not thinking about my mother getting raped, or that would happen, one day I couldn't stand having to close the door a hundred times before I could think of something good, or to spend fifteen minutes turning off the light the right way, I decided enough was enough, the world could fall apart, I didn't want to spend my life saving other people, that night I went to bed sure the next day would bring the apocalypse, nothing happened, I was relieved but a little bit disappointed to discover I had no power. ~ Edouard Leve
Gifts Of Life quotes by Edouard Leve
Do you know, Watson," said he, "that it is one of the curses of a mind with a turn like mine that I must look at everything with reference to my own special subject. You look at these scattered houses, and you are impressed by their beauty. I look at them, and the only thought which comes to me is a feeling of their isolation and of the impunity with which crime may be committed there. ~ Arthur Conan Doyle
Gifts Of Life quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
She conceived of life as a road down which one traveled, an easy enough road through a broad country, and that one's destination was there from the very beginning, a measured distance away, standing in the ordinary light like some plain house where one went in and was greeted by respectable people and was shown to a room where everything one had ever lost or put aside was gathered together, waiting. ~ Marilynne Robinson
Gifts Of Life quotes by Marilynne Robinson
Charm is the true gift of the Fairies. ~ Charles Perrault
Gifts Of Life quotes by Charles Perrault
There is immense, powerful potential in life in this universe - especially now that we know that places like the Earth are common. And that potential, that powerful potential, is also our potential, of you and me. ~ Dimitar Sasselov
Gifts Of Life quotes by Dimitar Sasselov
I think I am at the end of a certain phase of my life. What I'm on the lookout for now is the unexpected, for things that come from outside and that I never thought might happen. Sometimes you have to watch for them so you don't automatically say no to the new, simply because you're in the habit of saying no to everything that comes along. ~ Doris Lessing
Gifts Of Life quotes by Doris Lessing
This life of ours, this is a wonderful life. If you can get through life like this and get away with it, hey that's great. But it's very predictable. There's so many ways you can screw it up. ~ Paul Castellano
Gifts Of Life quotes by Paul Castellano
What is our task in this world as children of God and brothers and sisters of Jesus? Our task is reconciliation. Wherever we go we see divisions among people - in families, communities, cities, countries, and continents. All these divisions are tragic reflections of our separation from God. The truth that all people belong together as members of one family under God is seldom visible. Our sacred task is to reveal that truth in the reality of everyday life. Why is that our task? Because God sent Jesus to reconcile us with God and to give us the task of reconciling people with one another. As people reconciled with God through Jesus we have been given the ministry of reconciliation (see 2 Corinthians 5:18). So whatever we do the main question is, Does it lead to reconciliation among people? ~ Henri J.M. Nouwen
Gifts Of Life quotes by Henri J.M. Nouwen
Economists say the inability to delay gratification is a primary predictor of economic failure in life. ~ Brian Tracy
Gifts Of Life quotes by Brian Tracy
I've reached a point in life where it would be easy to let down my guard and write simple imagistic poems. But I don't want to write poems that aren't necessary. I want to write poems that matter, that have an interesting point of view. ~ Maxine Kumin
Gifts Of Life quotes by Maxine Kumin
With Christ as the center of your life, you will never be disappointed. ~ Pope Francis
Gifts Of Life quotes by Pope Francis
It has often been suggested to me that the Constitution of the United States is a sufficient safeguard for the freedom of its citizens. It is obvious that even the freedom it pretends to guarantee is very limited. I have not been impressed with the adequacy of the safeguard. The nations of the world, with centuries of international law behind them, have never hesitated to engage in mass destruction when solemnly pledged to keep the peace; and the legal documents in America have not prevented the United States from doing the same. Those in authority have and always will abuse their power. And the instances when they do not do so are as rare as roses growing on icebergs. Far from the Constitution playing any liberating part in the lives of the American people, it has robbed them of the capacity to rely on their own resources or do their own thinking. Americans are so easily hoodwinked by the sanctity of law and authority. In fact, the pattern of life has become standardized, routinized, and mechanized like canned food and Sunday sermons. The hundred-percenter easily swallows syndicated information and factory-made ideas and beliefs. He thrives on the wisdom given him over the radio and cheap magazines by corporations whose philanthropic aim is selling America out. He accepts the standards of conduct and art in the same breath with the advertising of chewing gum, toothpaste, and shoe polish. Even songs are turned out like buttons or automobile tires--all cast from the same mold. ~ Emma Goldman
Gifts Of Life quotes by Emma Goldman
This living, this living, this living Was never a project of mine. ~ Dorothy Parker
Gifts Of Life quotes by Dorothy Parker
The gospel alone liberates you to live a life of scandalous generosity, unrestrained sacrifice, uncommon valor, and unbounded courage. ~ Tullian Tchividjian
Gifts Of Life quotes by Tullian Tchividjian
Write your dreams down, toss them into the sea, and make a wish, Isabel. Life is too short to live with regrets, own today as if it was your last. ~ A.M. Willard
Gifts Of Life quotes by A.M. Willard
What I want people to realize is that "transitioning" is not the end of the journey. Yes, it's an integral part of revealing who we are to ourselves and the world, but there's much life afterward. These stories earn us visibility but fail at reporting on what our lives are like beyond our bodies, hormones, surgeries, birth names, and before-and-after photos. ~ Janet Mock
Gifts Of Life quotes by Janet Mock
All philosophic propositions, every attempt to think including all acts of oral or written articulation of an argument and metaphorically expressed ideas, are subject to the dynamics and limitations of human language. The spoken thought is only part of any philosophic message; the other part is unsaid because it is unsayable. The crux of any philosophic proposition reverberates in the echo of silence, the thought that lies in-between the lines. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Gifts Of Life quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
I should have been struck down by the despair a young lover feels who has sworn lifelong fidelity, when a friend speaks to him of the other mistresses he will have in time to come. ~ Marcel Proust
Gifts Of Life quotes by Marcel Proust
I am a pilot and I run a Medical Transport Squad. That means, for most of my life I am living it up in the air." -- USN CAPT Joe Woodhaven ~ L.A. Kragie
Gifts Of Life quotes by L.A. Kragie
You will believe me when I say the life we lead grows less and less distinct from the life we led of Cruso's island. Sometimes I wake up not knowing where I am. The world is full of islands, said Cruso once. His words ring truer every day. ~ J.M. Coetzee
Gifts Of Life quotes by J.M. Coetzee
Ach bloodletting hastens the next, and as the value of human life is degraded and violence becomes tolerated, the unimaginable becomes more conceivable. ~ Bill Clinton
Gifts Of Life quotes by Bill Clinton
When suicide is out of fashion we conclude that none but madmen destroy themselves; and all the efforts of courage appear chimerical to dastardly minds ... Nevertheless, how many instances are there, well attested, of men, in every other respect perfectly discreet, who, without remorse, rage, or despair, have quitted life for no other reason than because it was a burden to them, and have died with more composure than they lived? ~ David Hume
Gifts Of Life quotes by David Hume
Whoso turns his attention to the bitter strifes of these days and seeks a reason for the troubles that vex public and private life must come to the conclusion that a fruitful cause of the evils which now afflict, as well as of those which threaten us, lies in this: that false conclusions concerning divine and human things, which originated in the schools of philosophy, have crept into all the orders of the state, and have been accepted by the common consent of the masses. ~ Pope Leo XIII
Gifts Of Life quotes by Pope Leo XIII
Let us live, therefore, cheerfully, although there be no lasting joy in mortal things, whose substance is evanescent, inane, and vacuous. But if there is any good thing by which you would adorn this stage of life, we have not of such been cheated - rest, serenity, modesty, self-restraint, orderliness, change, fun, entertainment, society, temperance, sleep, food, drink, riding, sailing, walking, keeping abreast of events, meditation, contemplation, education, piety, marriage, feasting, the satisfaction of recalling an orderly disposition of the past, cleanliness, water, fire, listening to music, looking at all about one, talks, stories, history, liberty, continence, little birds, puppies, cats, consolation of death, and the common flux of time, fate and fortune, over the afflicted and the favoured alike. There is a good hope for things beyond all hope; good in the exercise of some art in which one is skilled; good in meditating upon the manifold transmutation of all nature and upon the magnitude of Earth. ~ Girolamo Cardano
Gifts Of Life quotes by Girolamo Cardano
There's no shortage of material in life. ~ Jonathan Ames
Gifts Of Life quotes by Jonathan Ames
And, yes we are much like kites when the image is one of spirituality and the winds of the Holy Spirit shaping, directing, instructing, and otherwise affecting our lives."

~R. Alan Woods [2012] ~ R. Alan Woods
Gifts Of Life quotes by R. Alan Woods
We are more unhappy to see people ahead of us than happy to see people behind us. ~ Michel De Montaigne
Gifts Of Life quotes by Michel De Montaigne
How far you go in life depends on
your being tender with the young,
compassionate with the aged,
sympathetic with the striving and
tolerant of the weak and strong.
Because someday in your life
you will have been all of these. ~ George Washington Carver
Gifts Of Life quotes by George Washington Carver
The greatest treasures of your life are associated with the people you love and who love you in return. ~ Brian Tracy
Gifts Of Life quotes by Brian Tracy
In this poor body, composed of one hundred bones and nine openings, is something called spirit, a flimsy curtain swept this way and that by the slightest breeze. It is spirit, such as it is, which led me to poetry, at first little more than a pastime, then the full business of my life. There have been times when my spirit, so dejected, almost gave up the quest, other times when it was proud, triumphant. So it has been from the very start, never finding peace with itself, always doubting the worth of what it makes. ~ Matsuo Basho
Gifts Of Life quotes by Matsuo Basho
